PREFACE. 



The labor of writing such a book as is here presented 
was not undertaken without a firm conviction that a 
work of this kind was really needed. Only upon the 
earnest solicitation of many professional friends was the 
author prevailed upon to publish this volume. He has, 
therefore, as a guide to the druggist and the pharmacist, 
after many years of earnest toil, labor and great expense, 
brought together a vast amount of information suitable 
in every respect to the wants of the compounder of new 
and elegant preparations. With this object in view, 
standard works on every subject connected therewith 
have been carefully and freely consulted. 

Many of the working formulae found in this volume 
have been kindly donated from eminently successful 
pharmaceutical chemists of great learning and wide ex- 
perience. 

Many of my own formulae, tested and repeatedly ma- 
nipulated in the Laboratories of Europe and America, 
and drawn from a practical experience of twenty years, 
will be found in this volume. 

"On all great subjects," says-John Stewart Mill, "much 
yet remains to be said ;" and this is equally true with 



PREFACE. 



respect to the subject before us as with other sciences 
and departments of scientific investigation. 

Systematic treatises on the subject of what may be 
called the elegant preparations, have been so unreliable 
and costly, that a volume of this kind, with formula? 
tested and approved through a period of a busy life, can- 
not, it seems to the author, fail to meet with a fair share 
of public favor. 

My intention has been to exhibit this branch of in- 
dustry as it really exists in this year of our Lord eighteen 
hundred and eighty, and not that of forty or fifty years 
ago — to bring it up to the high standard of recent invest- 
igation : also, to place before the busy practitioner in- 
formation which can alone be found in the private work- 
ing formulae of the practical chemist, or in the huge, 
costly volumes of authors whose prolific pages one has 
to hunt through in order to arrive at the knowledge of 
which they profess to be the vehicles. The subjects in 
the volume before you are so arranged that any desired 
item ot information can be readily found, with scarcely 
more loss of time than would be entailed by reference 
to a dictionary. 

As an enterprising druggist, it is necessary that you 
should manufacture, yourself, the different kinds of tinc- 
tures, elixirs, syrups, perfumery, cosmetics, and, indeed, 
every delicate, important and costly article usually found 
in the stock of every respectable druggist. 

In conclusion, the author wishes to be fully understood 
that, on the whole, this book is but a compilation of for- 



mulae gathered from an astonishingly large number of 
volumes, all of which no man's private library would, 
be likely to contain ; the merit, then, if in your judg- 
ment there be any, consists in the work of gathering 
and compressing, in the space of one volume, so large 
a fund of valuable information, and in works and for- 
mulae as brief as is consistent with clearness. 

To steer clear of the fault of saying too much on the 
one hand, and too little on the other, was a work of no 
little trouble. He is aware of many omissions which 
the reader will no doubt detect. He does not claim in- 
fallibility, as perfection is unattainable, and especially is 
this the case in the science of Pharmacy and Chemistry, 
as the goal of either to-day may be but the starting point 
of the morrow. 

Clearness, brevity, precision and accuracy have been 
the aims of the author, and how far he has succeeded, 
after a careful perusal of this work, judge ye. 

The words of the philosopher covers the case : "To 
rest short of his own aims is incident to every man 
whose views are comprehensive and whose fancy is 
lively; neither is any man satisfied with himself because 
he has done much, but because he can conceive little."

It often happens that a druggist is called upon to 
change a quantity from one weight to its equivalent in 
another, which, at the best, is tedious, I append a rule 
for effecting such a change.

Equivalent in Another. 

Rule.— Reduce the given quantity to grains, and 

then find their value in denominations of the weight 

required.

multiply 6 oz. by 4M7i because there are 437^ grains in an ounce Avoir-

'3025 grains, making a total of 93626 grains. We now make our de- 
visor 5700. because there are 5700 grains in a pound Troy weight. Our 
remainder, 1405, we multiply by 12, because there are 12 ounces in a 
pound Troy. We multiply the remainder, 300, by 20, because there 
are 20 pwts. in an ounce, ami remainder of 2)0 by 2-1 because there 
are 21 grains in a pwt.

Rules to Proportion the Doses of Medicine. 

In prescribing, the following circumstances should be 
kept in view : Age, sex, temperament, habit, climate, 
the condition of the stomach and idiosyncrasy.

Rule. — Make the age or the child the numerator of 
the fraction, and for denominator also, place the age and 
add 12, thus: Suppose the child's age is 2 years, then, 
according to our rule, we make 2 the numerator, and 
place it in this way 2-=- (2-J-12) — -^ =— of the dose you 
would administer to adult. 



CHAPTER II. 



METRIC SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 

To enter into an argument either for or against the 
metric system of weights and measures, is not the inten- 
tion of the author. 

It is eminently right and proper to know just what 
the system is, for to be able to dispense correctly and in- 
telligently in both systems, is a duty we owe to the pro- 
fession, as we cannot be ignorant of the fact that many 
of the leading physicians of our country prescribe inva- 
riably in the metric system, hence the necessity of this 
chapter. 

Surgeon General Wood worth, of the U. S. Marine Hos- 
pital Service, has issued a circular, with the approval of 
Secretary Sherman, requiring medical officers of the Ma- 
rine Hospital Service to make use hereafter, for all offi- 
cial medical and pharmaceutical purposes, of the metric 
system of weights and measures, which has already, 
under the act of July 28, 1866, been adopted by this ser- 
vice for the purveying of medical supplies. 

Now, what is the Metric System ? 

The word "metric" is from the Greek word metron, a 
measure, and is pronounced met-ric. In this system, it 
is the gramme, written gram, and the centigram and 
the cubic centimeter, which concerns the physicians. 

To facilitate the ready conversion of the old into the 
new terms of weights and measures, the following simple 
rules are appended : 



THE METRIC SYSTEM. 13 

I. — To express quantities by weight of the apotheca- 
ries' system in metric terms, or to write medical prescrip- 
tions in metric weights. 

Rule A. — Reduce each quantity to grains, then divide 
the number by 10 (or move the decimal point one place 
to the left), and from the quotient subtract one-third. 
The remainder is in each case the number of grammes 
representing nearly the same quantity. 

Rule B. — Reduce each quantity to drachms, and mul- 
tiply by 4. The product is in each case the number of 
grammes representing (nearly) the same quantity. 

Rule C. — Reduce each quantity to ounces, and mul- 
tiply the number by 32, the product is in each case the 
number of grammes representing (nearly) the same 
quantity. 

Remark. — To insure greater accuracy, if in any case 
deemed necessary, three per cent, may be deducted from 
the answer arrived at by either of the rules A, B and C. 

To express quantities by measure of the apothecaries' 
system in metric terms,or to write medical prescriptions 
in metric cubic measure : 

Rule D. — Reduce each quantity to minims, then divide 
the number by 10, or move the decimal point one place 
to the left, and from the quotient subtract one-third. 
The remainder is in each case the number of cubic cen- 
timeters representing (nearly) the same quantity. 

Rule E. — Reduce each quantity to fluid drachms, and 
multiply the number by 4. The product is in each case 
the number of cubic centimeters representing (nearly) 
A /he same quancity. 



14 THE METRIC SYSTEM. 

Rule F. Reduce each quantity to fluid ounces, and 
multiply the number by 32. The product is in each 
case the number of cubic centimeters representing nearly 
the same quantity. 

To ensure greater accuracy, if in any case deemed 
necessary, 8 per cent, may be deducted from the answer 
arrived at by either of the rules D, E and F, reducing 
the error to less than 2^ minims for every fluid ounce. 

In applying the above rules for writing prescriptions, 
the metric quantities should be adjusted so as to be ex- 
pressed in as simple decimal terms as may be practicable, 
without materially changing the dose or the character 
of the formula?. 

The terms "gramme" and "cubic centimeter" are gen- 
erally abbreviated into Gm. and C. C. To preclude the 
possibility, in careless writing, however, of mistaking 
the sign "Gm." for the sign "Or." (grain), the number 
should invariably precede the sign, using the common 
Arabic numerals, thus : 10 Gm. 

In writing, the abbreviated metric denominations 
should always be underscored, but the preceding number 
should not, as above. 

A few examples will suffice to illustrate the foregoing 
rules and suggestions :

TINCTURES. 



Tinctures were formerly made by maceration for two 
weeks, but are now best prepared by percolation. The 
Paris Society of Pharmacy direct percolation with Alco- 
hol of 60 deg. for Belladonna, Conium,Hyoscyamus, Stra- 
monium, Digitalis, Quassia, Pale Cinchona, Rhatany 
and Senna ; with Alcohol of 80 deg. for Valerian, Cin- 
namon, and red and yellow Cinchona. They advise 
maceration with Alcohol of 60 deg. for Aloes, Arnica, 
Catechu, Colchicum Bulbs, Gentian, Ipecacuanha, Musk, 
Rhubarb and Squill ; with Alcohol of 80 deg. for Castor, 
Columbo, Colchicum Seeds, Cloves, Ginger, Jalap, Nux 
Vomica, Saffron and Vanilla; with Alcohol of 90 deg. 
for Assafcetida, Balsam of Peru, Balsam of Tolu, Benzoin, 
Ammonia, Myrrh and Scammony. 

In preparing Tinctures, care should be taken that the 
substances treated should be exhausted of their soluble 
principles, in order to obtain a perfectly clear liquid ; 
this, of course, is done during percolation ; when pre- 
pared by maceration they require to be frequently shaken 
during the process, which should be conducted in glass 
bottles, well stopped. 

On the subject of Percolation, see U. S. Pharmacopoeia.

CHAPTER V. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 



Before the reader commences this chapter on Specific 
Medication, it would be advantageous to possess a clear 
understanding as to the meaning of the term "specific," 
as applied in medicine, in order to thoroughly under- 
stand the teaching of Eclectic practitioners. We can- 
not, therefore, do better than quote the words of the 
father of Eclecticism, Prof. John M. Scudder, professor 
of the principles and practice of medicine, in the Eclec- 
tic Medical Institute, Cincinnati. He says : "Many 
persons are in error in regard to our use of the term 'spe- 
cific* Thay think of a specific medicine as one that 
will cure all cases of a certain disease according to our 
present nosology, as pneumonia, dysentery, diarrhea, 
albuminuria, phthisis, etc., and a person looking at the 
subject in this light, and guided by his experience in 
the use of remedies, would at once say there are no spe- 
cifics." 

We use the term specific with relation to definite patho- 
logical conditions, and propose to say that certain well- 
determined deviations from the healthy state will always 
be corrected by certain specific medicines. Prof. Scudder 
goes on to say: "We do not propose to reach all patho- 
logical changes by one remedy, except in those cases in 



44 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

which one lesion is primary, and the others result from 
it. We propose a remedy for each pathological feature, 
using the remedy for that which is first in the change 
of morbid action, and that second which stands second, 
and so on." 

This respectable class of practitioners, to whom hu- 
manity is indebted for many discoveries in the medical 
arts, is constantly increasing in such numbers that the 
Eclectic physician can be found in every city and vil- 
lage throughout our country. It is, therefore, with this 
view that a chapter on Eclectic Medicine has been writ- 
ten. His medicines have become a necessity. Their 
composition and mode of administration must be known 
to you. The law demands that your duty of dispensing 
be done with judgment and discrimination. But how is 
it possible to discriminate and exercise judgment with 
respect to Eclecticism except one knows what it is? — 
hence this chapter. 



Arsenic. 

The friends of liberal medicine look upon this mineral 
as a depressant, and class it among the antiphlogistics. 

It is well known that arsenic exists in nature in com- 
bination with nickel and cobalt, and largely used by 
Homeopathic phj^sicians. In small doses it lessens the 
frequency of the pulse, gives freedom to the circulation, 
and relieves irritation of the nervous system. It is use- 
ful in pustula? and the tubercular It is a nerve stimu- 
lant, and often employed in phthisis. Prof. Howe, of 
Cincinnati, uses arsenic in combination with veratrum. 
The cancer specialists use it largely. The writer has 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 45 

used it often in the intermittens of children, as it is a 
tasteless remedy, and works well, stopping the parox- 
isms of ague and periodic neuralgia, Arsenic will de- 
stroy malignant growths. 

For adults, I would prescribe : 

Yp. — Fowler's Solution, 3j. 
Aqua, 3 iv. 

Teaspoonful every three hours. 
The dose for a child would be from gtt. ij to gtt. iv 
twice or three times a day. 



Aconite Napellus. 

(Monkshood.) Wolf's Bane. 

The leaves and roots are the medicinal parts. To make 
the tincture, take 3 viii. recent root, alcohol oj. 

This plant has a small napiform root, and a simple, 
straight erect stem, about five feet high. The leaves 
are alternate, petioled, dark green above, paler beneath. 
The flowers are large, deep bluish-purple, sometimes 
white, and hairy. 

This perennial plant is a native of most parts of 
Europe. It flowers in May and June. All parts of the 
plant contain powerfully poisonous properties, but the 
root is the part most generally employed for medical 
purposes. 

Although aconite, in the hands of an intelligent phy- 
sician, is of great service as a sedative and anodyne, yet 
we would never advise an unskilled person to use this 
drug. If it is used in the family, let it be under the 
guidance of your family physician. It is an excellent 



46 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

remedy in all febrile and inflammatory diseases, in 
rheumatism, peretonites, gastritis, and many other acute 
disorders. It increases the power of the heart's action, 
lessens the frequency of the pulse, removes irritation of 
the cardiac nerves. It is an excellent remedy in dysentery 
from cold, and said to be good in croup. 
Formula : 

f£. — Tine. Aconite, gtt. v. to x. 
Aqua, 3 iv. 

Teaspoonful every hour, in acute disease. 
To a child 2 years old, give gtt. ii. to v. in aqua 3 iv. 



Atropa Belladonna. 

The best preparation is an alcoholic tincture of the 
recent plant. The dose is one drop. For hypodermic 
use, we employ a solution of atropia in proportion of one 
grain to the ounce of distilled water — the dose would 
then be five to ten drops. This is also the best propor- 
tion for use to dilate the pupil. As a collyrium, we 
would add 3j of this solution to fj of distilled water. 
Atropa Belladonna is exhibited when the patient is dull 
and stupid, and the child drowsy and sleeps with its 
eyes partly open, pupils dilated, eyes dull. It is said to 
be a specific in incontinence of urine owing to an imper- 
fect pelvic circulation. 

For an adult, in the proportion of gtt. v. to gtt. x. to 
water 3 iv.; in the child, gtt. v. to 3 iv.; in each a tea- 
spoonful every hour. We have given the maximum 
dose, as it must be used in small doses. We may also 
mention that an enfeebled circulation demands atropa 
belladona. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 47 

Aloes. 

" The use ot aloes in medicine," says Prof. Scudder, 
"should be quite limited." He believes that, in small 
quantities and in combination with other agents that 
act upon the upper intestinal canal, it proves a good 
cathartic, as in the following : 

t>. — Podophyllin, grs. x. 

Leptandrin, grs. xxx. 

Aloes, grs. xx. 

Extract of Hyoscyamus, grs. xxx. 
Make thirty pills. 
He also recommends aloes in small doses in cases of 
feeble enervation, especially in persons of gross habits. 
He prescribes it in connection with nux vomica or with 
tincture of belladonna. Dose of the strong tincture, from 
two to ten drops. 
The following is also recommended : 

rj. — Extract Nux Vomica, grs. vj. 
Aloes, grs. xv. 

Hydrastine, 3 ss. 

Make thirty pills. One may be given three or four 
times a day. 

Alstonia Constricta. 

(Fever Bark of Australia.) 

This is a recent addition to the Materia Medica. It is a 
native of Australia, taking the place of quinine in the cure 
of fever among the herdsmen and inhabitants of that 
country. It was exhibited at the Centennial Exposi- 
tion in 1876. As an ague cure, it is said to produce more 
permanent results than quinine. As an anti-periodic, 
the dose will be about five grs. 



48 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Bryonia. 

The Eclectics employ the German tincture in the pro- 
portion of gtt. v. to gtt. xxx., aqua 3 iv. A teaspoonful 
one, two or three hours. Its use is indicate'd where we 
have pain in right side of the face and head, burning in 
eyes and nose, with acrid nasal discharge; rheumatism, 
pneumonia and catarrhal affections. It is contra-indi- 
cated where disease of the air passages is present, but 
prescribed largely in rheumatism involving the synovial 
membranes. 



Leptandra Virginica. 

The tincture is prepared, 3 viii. to alcohol oj. Dose, 
gtt. x. to xx., in water. 

The root is the medicinal part, and often prepared as 
an infusion, but the tincture is preferable. The plant 
is indigenous to the United States, is found in woods and 
swamps and lime-stone regions. The leptandra exerts 
an influence upon the entire intestinal tract, and very 
useful in chronic hepatic diseases, and peculiarly appli- 
cable in bilious and typhoid fevers. In diarrhea and 
dysentery, as a cathartic, it is recommended. 



Baptisia Tinctoria. 

The pocket case of the Eclectic physician is never 
complete without this remedy. 

The baptisia grows in dry places in many parts of the 
United States, and bears bright yellow flowers in July 
and August. It is a small shrub, not exceeding two or 
three feet high. The medicinal part of the plant is the 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 49 

bark of the root. The leaves are also medicinal. The 
virtues of the root yield to alcohol and water. It has, 
however, been employed in infusion. Dr. Scudder recom- 
mends a tincture by percolation, using 3viii of the 
bark of the root to Oj of 98° alcohol. The infusion is 
made with rj of the bark to |iv boiling water. Dose, 
one teaspoonful. Of the tincture, gtt. x to ?iv of water. 
Dose, a teaspoonful. 

It is purgative, emetic, astringent and anti-septic. As 
a fomentation, it is good in ulcers, sore mouth or throat, 
stomatitis, cynanche maligna, and the sore throat of 
scarlet fever. In some cases of diphtheria it is useful, 
and in typhoid dysentery it is looked upon with great 
respect. 



Among the most valuable medicines in our Materia 
Medicawill be found the Bromides, as every practitioner 
who has been any length of time in the profession will 
testify. 

Bromide of Ammonia. 

The author has often been surprised and delighted 
with the efficacy of this drug, when properly and promptly 
administered in the convulsions of children. In epilepsy 
it has proved in many cases a specific. The Bromide of 
Ammonia is a strong stimulant to the nerve centers. 
The internal administration in small doses of this drug 
removes the predisposition to convulsions in children. 
Its action is also good in whooping-cough. I would 
recommend it in the following proportion : 
]}.. — Bromide of Ammonia, 3iij. 
Aqua, 5i y - 

Teaspoonful four times a day. 
—4 



50 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Iodide of Ammonia. 

There is not the risk attending this remedy as we 
have in the Iodide of Potassium, and for that reason it is 
preferable in secondary syphilis and enfeebled nutritive 
powers. The Iodide of Ammonia has been employed with 
great benefit in persistent headaches. 

I£. — Iodide of Ammonia, 3ij- 
Water, ~iv. 

Teaspoonful every four hours. 



Macrotys Racemosa. 

(Black Cohosh.) 

Macrotys Racemosa and Cemicifuga Racemosa are the 
same. 

The medicinal part is the root. This plant is a native of 
the United States, inhabiting the woods and hillsides, and 
flowers from May to August. The tincture is prepared 
from the fresh root, using sviii to alcohol 76° Oj. Dose, 
from one to ten drops. 

It is said to be specific in rheumatism, and exerting a 
marked influence over the nervous system. In rheu- 
matic fever, Prof. Scudder says it is speedy and certain 
in action, where the disease has not localized itself as an 
inflammation. There is no doubt of its being a valuable 
and useful medicine in cholera, periodical convulsions, 
fits, epilepsy, delerium tremens, and many spasmodic 
affections, in cough, neuralgia and scrofula. Its influ- 
ence is marked in functional disease of the reproductive 
organs of women, in amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, leucor- 
rhea. It is a superior remedy in a variety of chronic 
diseases, and useful in palpitation of the heart and car- 
diac affections generally. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 51 



Muriate of Ammonia. 



This drug is used as a stimulant to the capillary cir- 
culation ; shortness of breath, and in Splenitis. 

In eruptic fevers, when the eruption is tardy in ap- 
pearing. Use it rubbed up in lard. 



Amyl Nitrate. 

An ethereal liquid, of a yellowish color, and a peculiar 
yet not an unpleasant odor, insoluble in water, but sol- 
uble in rectified spirits. The dose is from the fraction 
of a drop to two drops, or in homeopathic dilution ; in 
large doses, or inhaled, it is a powerful poison. It is em- 
ployed in asthma, epilepsy, nervous headace, chorea, hic- 
cough, gastralgia. 

Mix the amyl nitrate with an equal part of oil of cori- 
ander, to render it less volatile, and at the same time to 
cover its odor. It is the most powerful diaphoretic 
known, and used with great satisfaction in the cold 
stage of ague. Dr. Saunders, of Isidore, employs the 
amyl nitrate in this way : Four drops of the mixture 
are poured on a small piece of lint, which is given into 
the hands of the patient, and he is told to inhale it 
freely. He soon becomes flushed ; his pulse and respi- 
ration are accelerated; when he feels warm all over, the 
inhalation is discontinued, as the symptoms continue to 
increase for some time after; a profuse perspiration now 
sets in, which speedily ends the attack. In some cases, 
however, the cold stage passes off without any hot or 
sweating stage. 



52 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Rhus Toxicodendron. 

(Poison Oak.) 

Prepare your tincture from the recent leaves, 3 viii to 
alcohol 98° Oj. 

Prescribe, Rhus gtt. x, Aqua 51V. Dose, a teaspoon- 
ful every two hours. 

The Rhus is prized as a valuable medicine in inflam- 
mation giving an ichorous discharge, in which the tis- 
sues seem melting away; in erysipelas; as antidote to 
zymotic poisoning, tympanitis, acrid discharges from the 
bowels or bladder. 

If sharp pain is felt in the frontal region, especially in 
left orbit, or any local pain, when it is sharp and burn- 
ing, indicates the use of Rhus Toxicodendron. 



Gelseminum. 

(Yellow Jessamine.) 

Gelseminum Sempervirens, or Yellow Jessamine, or, as 
it is sometimes called, Woodbine, abounds throughout 
the Southern States. It has a twining, smooth stem, yel- 
low flowers, and agreeable odor. Its leaves are dark 
green above and pale beneath. 

Among Eclectic physicians it is highly valued and 
largely prescribed. It is said by them to influence the 
brain as well as the spinal center, and sympathetic ; that 
it relieves irritation and determination of blood, rectifies 
the various secretions without nausea, vomiting and 
purging. It is contra-indicated when, the eyes are dull, 
pupils dilated, and the countenance expressionless. It 
is given in nervous and bilious headache, colds, pneumo- 
nia, and many kinds of fever. Many physicians claim 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 53 

it as the specific in dysuria from stricture, enabling the 
patient to pass urine in from four to eight hours. The 
root is the part used. It yields its virtues to water and 
alcohol. The tincture is made in the usual manner — 
that is, Gelseminum root, sviii, alcohol, Oj. Dose, from 
the fraction of a drop to gtt. vj. 



Strychnos Nux Vomica. 

(Nux Vomica.) 

The medicinal part of this plant is the seed, from 
which the tincture is made. Take : sviii of the freshly 
powdered seeds, alcohol 98° Oj. Dose, from 1 to 5 drops. 
The following formula is recommended by leading Ec- 
lectrics : 

1^. — Sulphate of Strychnia, grs. iv. 
Aqua, |iv. 

Dose, gtt. v to gtt. xx. 

Nux Vomica exerts a specific influence upon the in- 
testinal canal and associate vicera, that renders it a most 
valuable remedy, not alone to the Eclectic or Homeo- 
pathic physician, but to the Allopathic physician as 
well. Although an energetic poison, yet, in the hands 
of a skillful practitioner, it is very valuable in conges- 
tion of the liver, spleen and portal circle. It influences 
the cerebro-spinal center, and good in paralysis, general 
debility, pain in the stomach and bowels, sickness, pain 
in forehead, in dysentery, and gives quick relief in gas- 
tric irritation ; when we have enfeebled respiration in 
typhoid and asthenic diseases, it is highly recommended. 
In overdoses it will produce lock-jaw. 



54 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Veratrum Veride. 

(American Hellebore.) 

Prepare a tincture from the recent root, fviii, to alco- 
hol 76° Oj. Dose, from one to three drops. 

The stem of this plant is from three to five feet high, 
with leaves from six. inches to a foot long ; flowers green. 
It is a native of the United States, growing in swamps, 
low ground and moist meadows. It is a medicine con- 
taining many valuable properties. It is employed to 
lessen the frequency of the heart's action. It is hyp- 
notic, anodyne and anti-spasmodic; better than opium, 
in that it does not produce constipation. A full bound- 
ing pulse calls for veratrum. It is the remedy for sthe- 
nia, where there is a free circulation. 

Veratrum is used when opium disagrees with the pa- 
tient, as in sleeplessness. Combined with other prepar- 
ations, it is good in gout, rheumatism, asthma, chronic 
cough, neuralgia, pneumania, in connection with Gel- 
seminum. It is used as a local application in erysipelas, 
in felons, diseases of the bones, tonsillitis, etc. 



Bromide of Potassium. 

The Bromide of Potassium is, without doubt, one of 
the most valuable medicines in the Materia Medica. 
Its uses are various. Thielman recommends this 
remedy as an excellent anaphrodisiac, in satyriasis, 
in the frequent and painful erections during gonorrhea, 
in spermatorrhea, and in nyphomania. He adminis- 
tered it in 2 to 3 grs. every two or three hours. In epi- 
leDsy, when associated with irritation of the reproductive 
organs, or especially in irritation of the cerebellum. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 55 

The learned Dr. Alfred Meadows says : "Of all drugs in 
the Pharmacopoeia, I know of none which possesses such 
great power as the Bromide of Potassium in menorrha- 
gia. Dr. Scudder uses the Bromide of Potassium in 
spermatorrhea. 

The writer can testify to its great service in nearly 
every form of headache, and insomnia. In combination 
with veratrum, it is often used successfully in bilious 
fevers. 

Iodide of Ammonium. 
The tincture may be made as follows : 
# .—Tincture of Iodine (strong), \ , , 

Aqua Ammonia (strong), } equal parts - 
Put it in a bottle, and allow it to become colorless. It 
is much more serviceable in this form, from the fact of its 
not staining the skin; and an excellent remedy in boils, 
inflammation, buboes, etc. 

The iodide of ammonia is recommended in secondary 
syphilis of an asthenic type, with nervous symptoms ; 
chronic headache, enfeebled circulation, often giving in- 
stant relief, and in many cases effecting a permanent 
cure. 



Jaborandi. 

The tincture may be made as follows : 
r}.— Jaborandi Leaves, 3 viii. 
Alcohol 98° Oj. 
It is one of the most active diaphoretics known. A 
drachm and a half of the powdered leaves in infusion, 
or one drachm of the tincture in six ounces of hot water, 
will produce profuse sweating. It is a remedy in con- 
vulsions, puerperal fever, in bilous fevers, rheumatism 
and dropsy. 



•56 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Cinnamon. 
Cinnamon is a grateful aromatic, and useful to cover 
the taste of naseous bodies, and if used with cathartics, 
it will prevent griping. Used as an infusion, it will 
prevent vomiting. It exerts an influence upon the ute- 
rus and circulatory system, as well as checking hemor- 
rhage. The tincture is prepared from the oil, in the 
proportion, 3j to alcohol §viii. The powdered bark is 
administered in doses of gr. v to 3j. 

Colocynth. 

The common name is Bitter Cucumber. The medicinal 
part is the fruit, divested of its rind. It is a powerful 
hydrogogue cathartic, producing copious watery stools. It 
is used in dysentery, dropsy and cerebral derangements. 
It should always be used in conjunction with hyoscya- 
mus. The tincture is administered in small doses. 
Dose, gtt. v to aqua |rv. A teaspoonful ever hour will 
give good results; also gr. j to gr. v. 

Chloroform. 

Chloroform, by inhalation, acts as an anaesthetic. 
From the accidents which have occurred from its use, 
pure Sulphuric Ether, or one part Chloroform and two 
parts Ether, is preferable for the purpose of procuring 
insensibility, tnereby arresting the powers of the brain 
to receive impressions. By influencing the spinal cord, 
it arrests respiration. I have used it successfully to 
stop convulsions. In biliary calculus, it is used as a 
prophylactic. For this purpose it is used in doses of gtt. 
xx, three times a day. In convulsions, the dose is from 
gtt. x to f3j. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 57 

C aulo phy llu m . 

(Blue Cohosh.) 

The Caulophyllum, or Blue Cohosh, is usually em- 
ployed in the form of a decoction. Dose, two to four 
ounces, three or four times a day, or a tincture of the dry 
root may be made : sviii to alcohol 76° Oj. 

It is principally used as an emmenagogue, parturient, 
and anti-spasmodic. It stimulates normal contraction, 
both before and after delivery. It also possesses diuretic, 
diaphoretic and anthelmintic properties. It is useful in 
hiccough, epilepsy, rheumatism, colic. It is used by 
Eclectics in chronic uterine disease. 



Colchicum. 

The common name for this is Meadow Saffron. The 
bulbs and seeds are the parts used. 

It is a sedative, cathartic, diuretic and emetic. It is 
largely used in palpitation of the heart. 

The tincture is administered in cases of colic, gtt. xx 
to aqua 3iv. A teaspoonful every two hours. Many 
physicians administer it in larger doses, from gtt. xx to 
3j- 

Digitalis. 

(Fox Glove.) 

The tincture is prepared from the recent dried leaves, 
in 'the proportion of 3 viii to alcohol 76° Oj. 

Digitalis, in over-doses, occasions vomiting, purging, 
vertigo, convulsions, and death. It is often employed as 
a sedative. It is a powerful cardiac tonic, and therefore 
used as a heart corrective, as in palpitations, and so on. 
It sometimes acts well as a cure in convulsions, in per- 
tussis and spasmodic asthma. Care must be taken of its 
cumulative effects. 



5S SPECIFIC MEDICATION. _ 

Carbolic Acid. 

This is a hydrated oxide of Phenyl, produced in the 
manufacture of coal gas. It has the taste and smell of 
Creosote. 

It is used in surgery to arrest the formation of pus. 
It is prepared for dispensing, thus : 

T£. — Glycerine, sxvi. 

Carbolic Acid Crystals, |iv. 
Mix. 

It is a valuable medicine where the tongue is broad 
and moist, and breath foetid. Administered in small 
doses, it will be found useful in bilious and typhoid 
fever, cynanche, pneumonia, diarrhea, dysentery, disease 
of the urinary organs, or whether the disease is acute or 
chronic, the following is a reliable formula : 

IJ. — Solution of Carbolic Acid in Glycerine, gtt. x to 

gtt. XXX. 

In putrid sore throat, in gr. ij. to gr. x, in aqua |j. 



Chloral Hydrate. 

This drug is prepared from the action of Chlorine on 
Alcohol. 

It relieves pain, and is useful in nervous disorders, and 
in delerium tremens. It is a hypnotic, and may be em- 
ployed where there is an enfeebled condition of the brain. 
It is very greatly superior to opium and almost every 
other drug in the character of its sleep-producing action. 
It is dangerous to give large doses, that is to say, more 
than about thirty grains, but repeat if necessary. 

Dr. Reynolds says: *'As a remedy for pain, Chloral 
holds a very varying place in the estimation of medical 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 59 

men, some rating it highly, and others thinking it almost 
worthless. In melancholia, its action as a hypnotic ap- 
pears to be powerfully and remarkably sure. We may 
also state that in aged persons, who find it difficult to 
sleep for any length of time continuously, the use of a 
single dose of thirty grains of Chloral appears to answer 
excellently well. Dose, gr. x to 3j, in syrup. 



Bismuth. 

The Eclectic physician prescribes Sub-nitrate of Bis- 
muth in two forms : First, the Liquor of Bismuth (see 
Solution of Citrate of Bismuth), and in form of powder. 
Of the powder, give two to four grains, of the solution gtt. 
x to 3j. It is used as an anti-spasmodic, absorbent, and 
sedative. The Citrate of Bismuth is especially useful in 
chronic gastro-intestinal irritation, or dyspepsia with 
diarrhea. The dose is a teaspoonful four times a day. 



Borax. 

This is used as an anti-septic dressing in wounds, the 
strength being from 3j to 3iv, in one pint of water. 
Given internally, in apthous exudations. It is admin- 
istered in small quantities, from grs. j to v, in water. 
In nephritic and calculous complaints, depending on an 
excess of uric acid. It is sometimes combined with 
Cream of Tartar. Dose for an adult, grs. xx to grs. xxxx. 
A good formula for application to diseased mucous mem- 
branes, especially the nose, may be written thus : 
I£. — Saturated Solution of Borax, fij. 
Oil Sweet Almonds, ;ij. 

Mix ; apply several times a day. 



60 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Ergot. 

(Spurred Rye.) 

The tincture of Ergot is the form in which it is 
generally used, and may be prepared in the usual way, 
with Alcohol of 76 per cent. Ergot is stimulant, acting 
on the muscular system of the uterus. 

In tedious labors, where the os is dilated, and the soft 
parts dilatable, and the pains grow weaker, the patient 
exhausted, give Ergot. It is useless in very small doses, 
as some recommend. My practice is to administer it in 
3ss doses, as the case may require. It is often used in de- 
coction, 3j of it, bruised, to §vi boiling water; boil ten 
minutes, strain and sweeten. It is bad practice to use 
Ergot during parturition before the membranes are rup- 
tured. In uterine hemorrhage, administer freely. 



Potassa. 

(Potash.) 

The officinal Liquor Potass is prescribed in doses of 
from one to ten drops in a glass of water. One ot the 
strongest indications for its use is in difficult urination. 
Deposits of uric acid are sometimes removed by the 
administration of small quantities of this remedy, and 
the irritative dyspepsia so frequently associated with it 
is also relieved. It may also be used in some cases of 
acne of the face, and in some cases of scrofula, the patient 
being well nourished. 



Acetate of Potassa. 

The Acetate of Potassa is mildly cathartic and diuretic. 
It has been found useful in febrile diseases, dropsies, 
icterus and viceral obstructions. Dr. Golding Bird says 
that ten days' or two weeks' use of Acetate of Potash 
will cure ague, when anti-periodics have wholly failed. 
Dose, 3j, as diuretic; 3ij to 3iij, as cathartic. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 61 

Nitrate of Soda. 

Pure nitrate of soda is a white salt, and from the cubic 
form of its crystals, is often called nitre. It is soluble 
in three times its weight of cold water, giving a clear 
solution. When the pulse is full, the surface flushed, 
slightly dusky or purplish; eyes injected, though dry; 
an increased perspiration, though the skin remain hot, 
Nitrate of Soda is indicated. The dose of Nitrate of 
Soda will range from 3j to §j in the twenty-four hours. 
It must be largely diluted with water. 



Hypophosphite Soda. 

Hypophosphite of Soda is looked upon as destructive 
to microscopic fungi, and as a useful agent in preventing 
fermentation. The writer has found it very useful in 
diphtheria. He combines the Soda with Chlorate of 
Potash and Iron. 

t>. — Hypophosphite Soda, 3j- 
Chlorate Potass, 3j j • 

Mur. Tine. Iron, 3iij. 

Syrup and Aqua, ad. 31V. 
Teaspoonful 4 times a day. 



Nitric Acid. 

The strong acid is seldom used for any other than 
pharmaceutical purposes; in the form of vapor it is ex- 
tracted from Nitre, 3IV, and Sulphuric Acid, 3iv, in a 
saucer placed in a pipkin of hot sand for the purpose of 
fumigation. It is incompatible with the Spirits of Lav- 
endar and strong tinctures, essential oils and metallic 



62 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

oxides. It is useful in irritable with enfeebled condition 
of the stomach, in impaired nutrition, etc. Eclectics 
say they do not use Nitric Acid for its acid properties, 
but for its nitrogen. It is given in chronic ague, malarial 
headache, etc. The writer always uses this acid in its 
diluted form, and found it beneficial in fevers of the 
typhoid form, in chronic affections of the liver, in dys- 
pepsia, and externally, in the cure of old, ulcerated sores. 
For internal use, 

P>. — Acid Nit. dil., gtt. xx. 

Aqua and Syrup, aa ad, fry. 
Teaspoonful every three hours. 



Oxide Zinc. 

This is an excellent remedy in chorea and other 
spasmodic affections. Eclectics generally prescribe this 
drug in very small quantities, in doses ranging from 
one-eighth of a grain to one grain. It may be used in 
chronic gastritis, nervous dyspepsia; externally, in sore 
nipples, excoriation, etc. In infantile chafing apply dry 
and freely. 



Viburnum Prunifolium. 

(Black Haw.) 

Prepare a tincture from the recent bark of the root 
3Viii to Alcohol 50° Oj. It is claimed in the Southern 
States that the Viburnum is a specific against abortion. 
In this particular it is, no doubt, a valuable drug. The 
infusion is often used. The dose would be from ~j to 51J. 
Dose of Tine, gtt. v to gtt. xx. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 63 

Stillingia Sylvatica. 

(Queen's Root.) 

Prepare a tincture from the recent dried root fvm to 
Alcohol 98° Oj. Dose from gtt j to gtt x. 

Stillingia is emetic, cathartic, alterative. It is useful 
in secondary syphilis, scrofula, etc. 

Stillingia exerts a specific influence upon the mucous 
membrane of the throat, larynx and bronchii, relieving 
irritation and favoring nutrition. Its use is very bene- 
ficial in chronic laryngitis, speedily relieving the irrita- 
tion and cough. 



Stramonium. 

(Jamestown Weed.) 

Prepare the tincture from the fresh leaves and flowering 
tops when the odor of the plant is strongest, gtt. v to 
gtt. x, Aqua fiv. Dose, teaspoonful as necessary. 

It is useful in delirium tremens, violent mania, epi- 
lepsy and asthma as' an inhalation. It is an excellent 
remedy in chronic diseases of the skin. 



Salicylic Acid. 

This drug has become widely known as a specific in 
certain forms of rheumatism. The writer invariably 
combines the Acid with Soda, forming a Salicylate of 
Soda. The prescription may be written : 

[j,. — Salycilic of Soda, 3j. 
Bicarbonate of Soda, ~ij. 
Dose, a teaspoonful every two hours. 



04 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Sanguinaria Canadensis. 

(Blood Root ) 

This is an acrid emetic, stimulant, narcotic ; diapho • 
retic, alterative. It is principally used in chronic catarrh, 
bronchial affections and pertussis, combined with Anti- 
mony or ipecac, it is a useful expectorant. 

Dose, as emetic, from grs. x to grs. xx. The tincture 
is prepared from the recent dried root 3VIH to Alcohol 
76° Oj. Dose from one to five drops.

ELIXIRS. 



How to Calculate Formulae for Elixirs. 

Suppose you desired to prescribe an elixir that shall 
contain Sulphate of Quinine 2 grains, Sulphate of Mor- 
phia -~- grain, Arsenious Acid -— grain, Strychnia -§g- 
grain, Ex. Aconite J grain in each fluid drachm. Pro- 
ceed thus: Choose a convenient number of fluid 
drachms, divisible by all the fractionable denominators, 
and, calculating on that basis, the quantity of each pro- 
duct needed to bring the elixir to the proper strength. 
In the present case we take 60, — the lowest number 
divisible by the three denominators, 2, 20 and 30,— and 
the formula will read thus: 



Sulphate of Quinine, 


(60x2) 


120 grains. 


Sulphate of Morphia, 


(^-X60) 


3 


Arsenious Acid, 


(yxHO)

Strychnia, 


(^-X60)

Ex. Aconite, 


(^X 60)

Simple elixir sufficient to complete 60 fl. drachms: 
The manipulation will be the usual one — that is, each

substance will have to be dissolved separately in the 
menstruum, with the help of the appropriate solvents, 
and the whole mixed together and filtered. Instead of 
6C, its multiples, 120, 180, etc., may be taken as a basis 
of calculation, &nd formulas will be obtained free from 
awkward fractions of a grain, that are represented by 
no weight procurable. 



General Rule in Making Elixirs Requiring Percolation. 

Take of the drug or drugs set down in the formula ; 
next take of the percolating menstruum (see below) 
sufficient to make 13 ounces, with five ounces of Sugar 
and one ounce of Prepared Flavoring, and proceed as 
directed in the U. S. Pharmacopoeia, which is as follows : 
The substance to be subjected to percolation, after hav- 
ing been reduced by sifting to a uniform powder of the 
fineness indicated in the formula, is to be put into a 
basin and rubbed with a portion of the menstruum until 
uniformly moistened. A portion of the powder is now 
to be carefully placed upon the diaphragm (a piece of 
cotton or cloth placed in the neck of the percolator), and 
pressed gently until the muslin resting against the sides 
of the percolator, just above the neck, is covered with a 
uniform layer. The remainder of the powder is then to 
be transferred to the percolator, and compressed evenly 
and firmly, and the leveled surface covered with a cir- 
cular piece of moistened muslin or paper, so that the 
liquid poured upon it may penetrate equally and not 
disarrange the powder. The percolator being now prop- 
erly supported, with its neck in a bottle previously 
marked for the quantity or quantities of liquid to be 
percolated, the menstruum is to be poured on until the 



ELIXIRS. . 81 

space above is nearly rilled ; and a layer of it must be 
constantly maintained above the powder, so as to prevent 
the access of air to its interstices until it has been added 
or until the requisite quantity of percolate has been ob- 
tained.

SOLUTIONS. 



Solutions are generally placed under two heads — Simple 
Solutions, and Complex or Chemical Solutions. 

A Simple Solution is where the dissolved body may be 
recovered without undergoing any chemical change in 
the evaporation of the solvent, or by its removal in any 
way. 

A Complex Solution is where a body undergoes some 
chemical alteration, either in composition or decomposi- 
tion. 

"Hot liquids dissolve substances," says Parrish, "with 
greater facility than cold, except Lime, its citrate and 
acetate, and Chloride of Sodium." The term saturated, 
when used in Pharmacy, signifies that an acid is neu- 
tralized by an alkali, or vice versa, or, in other words, 
that an equivalent proportion of one substance has com- 
bined with an equivalent portion of another, for which 
it has an affinity; they are then said to have saturated 
each other. 

Solutions are not confined to solids, for one liquid may 
dissolve another, as, for instance, Ether in Water, and 
Essential Oils in Alcohol. When no chemical combina-

tion takes place, volume and temperature remain unal- 
tered, while in chemical combinations a rise in temper- 
ature and a condensation in volume is observed. Water 
with strong Alcohol and concentrated acids, furnishes 
an example.

Solution of Dialyzed Iron.— (H. Koch.) 

In view of the wide-spread and rapidly increasing de- 
mand for this preparation the following working formula 
which has been tried with excellent success may prove 
of interest and benefit: 

Solution Chloride of Iron, 1 pint. 

Water of Ammonia q. s., or. 2 pints. 

Distilled Water, 12 " 

Mix the Iron solution with eight pints of the water 
and precipitate the Oxide of Iron therefrom by means 
of the Water of Ammonia, previously diluted with the 
remaining four pints of water, care being taken to have 
a slight excess of Ammonia. Collect the precipitate 
upon a close cotton (drilling) strainer of ample propor- 
tions, well secured around the ends. Wash the precipi- 
tate with plenty of distilled water of a temperature not 
exceeding 50° F., stirring the magma constantly with a 
horn or wooden spatula while pouring the water upon it. 
Set the magma aside to drain for several hours and then

without expressing, or, if too moist after application of 
very slight and gradual pressure, transfer to a wide mouth 
bottle and add 4 fluid ouces of solution of Chloride of Iron, 
shake briskly for awhile and then set aside in a cool 
place for twenty-four hours or until a complete solution 
has been effected, meanwhile stirring the mixture fre- 
quently. Finally transfer the solution to a dialyser and 
proceed in the usual manner. The process requires from 
eight to twelve days for completion. The preparation 
may be considered finished when Tincture of Nutgalls 
produces no darkening color, and nitrate of silver no 
precipitate in the diluted solution. 

When time is no object successive portions of Oxide 
of Iron may be dissolved in the solution already ob- 
tained in the same manner as the first portion, thus 
shortening the process of dialysing, or, in fact, carrying 
the saturation when the latter becomes altogether un- 
necessay, since according to Hager the resulting prepar- 
ation possesses precisely the same physical and chemical 
properties and peculiarities as the dialysed liquid.

FLUID EXTEAGTS, 



General Formula. 

The quantity of powdered material directed to be used 
in each of the following formulas is sixteen troy ounces. 
This powder is to be moistened with a specific quantity 
of menstruum, and properly packed in a suitable perco- 
lator. The surface of the powder is then to be covered 
with a disc of paper, and the remaining portion of six- 
teen fluid ounces of menstruum is to be poured upon it. 
When the liquid begins to drop from the percolator, 
close the lower orifice Avith a cork, and having closely 
covered the percolator to prevent evaporation, set it 
aside in a moderately warm place for four days. The 
cork is then to be removed, more menstruum is to be 
gradually added, and the percolation continued until 
twenty-four fluid ounces have been obtained. Of these 
the fir6t fourteen fluid ounces are to be reserved, and the 
remainder, having been carefully evaporated to two fluid 
ounces, is to be mixed with the reserved portion, and 
filtered through paper if necessary. 

As this formula will be repeatedly referred to, it com- 
mands your special attention.

CHAPTER XII. 



INFUSIONS. 

(U. S. P. ) 

This class of medicinal preparations is one of the least 
elegant in use, and is mainly confined, in the United 
States, to domestic practice. Even when prescribed by 
physicians, the Infusions are generally made by the 
nurse or attendant upon the sick, rather than by the 
pharmaceutist. The Infusions of Cinchona Bark, Infu- 
sion of Digitalis, Compound Infusion of Gentian, and 
Compound Infusion of Roses, form the chief exceptions 
to this. 

The process of percolation is applied with great ad- 
vantage to some of these preparations, and, in a majority 
of cases, the substitution of cold water for hot, and of 
percolation for maceration or digestion, is found to pro- 
duce a more elegant and equally efficient Infusion, and 
one which, from containing less coloring matter, fecula, 
resinous and other inert principles, keeps better, and is 
more acceptable to the stomach. 

When an Infusion is intended as an emetic draught, 
or to promote the operation of emetics, or as a diaphor- 
etic, it is usually given while hot, and, of course, to all 
such cases the above remark does not apply. Nor is it 
equally applicable to the demulcent Infusions of Flax- 
seed and Buchu, although the former may be made very 
well with cold water, and is then less only in its char- 
acter. 

The general dose of Infusion is f |ij, or a wineglass- 
ful, frequently repeated. This is to be varied in the case 
of Infusion of Senna, Compound Infusion of Flaxseed, 
and others, in which a much larger quantity may be 
taken at a draught. 

There are two of the officinal Infusions which it would 
be improper to give in the above general dose; these are 
Infusion of Digitalis and Infusion of Capsicum, the 
doses of which are specially stated in the Syllabus.

CHAPTER XIII. 



EMULSIONS. 



There is, perhaps, no duty required of a druggist that 
is more troublesome and vexatious than operations under 
this head. The pharmaceutists of every nation have 
considered the management or skillful operation re- 
quired to produce a perfect emulsion as denoting a high 
standard of intellectual endowment, and, simple as this 
branch of the practical druggist's work may at first 
sight appear to the uninitiated, yet it embraces consider- 
able trouble to the best manipulator. The trouble, how- 
ever, is principally caused by the way physicians pre- 
scribe an emulsion — a composition of oil, gum and syrup, 
with so small a quantity of water that no emulsion can 
be made. It is true, the ingredients can be mixed, but 
cannot be combined. In writing an oil emulsion care 
should be used to prescribe ingredients in such propor- 
tions that a skillful pharmacist can put up a decent 
article. On the other nand it is the duty of the drug- 
gist to study this branch of his business in order to 
know the conditions under which to make a good emul- 
sion of oil or balsam. 



184 EMULSIONS. 



HOW TO MAKE AN EMULSION. 



General Rule. 

Two modes of making emulsions are in use. One 
method consists in making a thick mucilage, to which 
is added, in small portions, oil and water, until all is 
formed into a perfect emulsion, which then can be di- 
luted with water without the oil being separated. 

The other method consists in mixing the oil with the 
powdered grain, in certain fixed proportions, and then 
adding a certain quantity of water, in proportion to the 
oil and gum used. 

The following, by A. F. W. Neynaber, in the Drug- 
gists' Circular, may be found useful : 

Parts by Weight. 

Oil. Powdered Gum Arabic. Water. 

1 1 n 

2 1 2 

3 1 2J 

If the oil is mixed with the gum, in a shallow porce- 
lain mortar, and then the water be added in any of the 
above mentioned proportions, the emulsion will be 
formed. The ingredients should be weighed very accu- 
rately. When the emulsion is formed, the stirring 
should be continued for a few minutes, and water be 
added gradually. The first method requires more skill 
and proper judgment of the Pharmaceutist; while the 
operation by the second can be performed by almost any- 
one, if he only weighs out the ingredients in the proper 
way.

Add the Oil to the Glycerine very slowly, stirring 
briskly all the while. When the emulsion is complete, 
add the Phosphate of Lime (freshly precipitated), the 
Alcohol, the Essence of Almonds, and lastly, enough 
water to complete ten fluid ounces. 

Glyconine is made by mixing five parts in weight of 
concentrated Glycerine with four parts of Yolks of Eggs 
previously well beaten. 



186 EMULSIONS. 



NO. 3. 

Emulsion of Copaiba and Benzoic Acid. 

Balsam Copaiba, 1 ounce.

Simple Elixir, 1 ounce. 

Tincture of Cubebs, 1 " 

Sugar. 6 drachms. 

Peppermint Water, 12 " 
Mucilage of Acacia to complete 6 ounces. 

Mix the Balsam of Copaiba and powdered Gum 
Arabic, and add water (one and one-half ounces). Stir 
well to form a thick emulsion. Triturate, in another 
porcelian mortar, the Benzoic Acid and powdered Sugar. 
Pass the mixture through a sieve. Next mix your Gum 
Arabic Mid Peppermint Water. Mix well, and when 
the Gum Arabic is all dissolved, add this mixture to the 
emulsion of Copaiba in the other mortar, and mix the 
two well before any water is added. Then use 1\ ounces 
of water to dilute the emulsion afterwards, and wash 
out the mortars, so as to bring all their contents into the 
prescription vial. Pour gradually into the vial while 
shaking your Elixir and Tincture of Cubebs. 

We have tried to furnish a model for convenient 
manipulation. The above possesses neatness, and pro- 
duces a good emulsion.

CHAPTER XIX. 



EXPLOSIVE PRESCRIPTIONS, 



The following prescriptions contain most of the sub- 
stances which have been found to produce explosions. 

Potassium Chlorate and all other chlorates should never 
be prescribed in powder mixed with organic or inorganic 
combustible or oxidizable bodies. If they are to be used, 
use them separately, and if desired to be combined, make 
them in solution. 

The following are dangerous, and have caused serious 
accidents, although prescribed by physicians : 
NO. 1. 
Potass. Chlo. 
Pulv. Gallse, or 
Acid Tanni. 
Ft. pulvis ; to be made in a gargle. Always dispense 
the powders separately, or make the gargle yourself. 



NO. 2. 

Potass. Chlo. 
Pulv. Catechu. 
To use as a dentifrice, should never be dispensed. 



EXPLOSIVE PRESCRIPTIONS. 253 

NO. 3. 

Potass. Chlo. 

Sodii (or Calcii) Hypophosphite. 

Aqua. 

The two salts must not be rubbed, or an explosion will 
result ; they should be dissolved in the water separately. 



NO. 4. 



Potass. Chlo. 

Acid Tanni. 

Glycerine. 

Aqua. 
This should be prepared by dissolving the Tannin in 
the Glycerine and the Potash in the water, and then 
mix.

Zinc Valer., gr. j. 

Chlo. Potassium, gr. ii. 

Mix. 



NO. 8. 

Potassium Permanganate. 
Glycerine. 

Tnis should never be compounded, as it is almost sure 
to cause an explosion. 

NO. 9. 

Potass. Permang. 
Glycerine. 
Aqua dist. 

This may be dispensed by adding the Potassium slowly 
to the Glycerine and water previously mixed, and by dis- 
pensing in a loosely stoppered vial. 



NO. 10. 

Chromic Acid is another agent which readily parts 
with its oxygen. Hence the following prescription is 
dangerously explosive : 

Acid Chromici, say, 10 grains. 

Glycerine, 1 drachm. 

But combination may be effected by adding the Acid 
drop by drop, and rubbing very slowly. 



EXPLOSIVE PRESCRIPTIONS. 255

This will explode if corked tight. 

In general, those mixtures that give off gas should 
not be corked until the evolution of gas is over. 






CHAPTER XX. 



PAEEIEES' PKESCRIPTIONS. 



It often happens that a drug clerk is asked for some- 
thing to cure diseases in horses and cattle. It must, 
therefore, be handy to have help in this respect. The 
druggist has merely to turn to his index, and there he 
well find as good and reliable a prescription as can be 
procured for the many diseases of the horse. 

Men eminent as veterinary surgeons have kindly fur- 
nished prescriptions for this department. They are 
reliable, and will be found safe in those diseases for 
which they are designated.

PERFUMEKY. 



Before entering upon our work of formulae for the 
manufacture of perfumery, it will be well to bear in 
mind the following directions as to the best methods of 
making extracts from Flower Pomades — 

First — Pure Cologne Spirits, \ gallon. 

Flower Pomade, .... 4 pouuds. 
(Flower Pomade is known to the trade as Triple 
Pomade.) 

Second — Place the spirits in a well stoppered bottle, 
together with the pomade cut in small pieces, and place 
the bottle in a water bath, and apply gentle heat, just 
sufficient to melt the Pomade, and stir with a wooden 
spatula, or shake well together. By this method the 
fatty matter will solidify and exhibit a granulated ap- 
pearance, having been thoroughly permeated by the 
spirits. 

Third — Let the mass stand for five days, but shake 
occasionally. 

Fourth — Now drain off the liquid extract into another 
bottle, but if it fall short of a gallon, pour on a sufficiency 
of Alcohol to make up the measure. This is called the 
First Wash, or Virgin. 



272 PERFUMERY. 



Fifth — By subsequent and similar treatment a second 
and even a third quantity of extract may be made, 
which, although much weaker, will be found suitable 
for cheap perfumes. The Pomade left will then make 
an excellent Hair Pomade when bottled. 



Herewith I append several formulae for extracts, which 
will be required in our formuas which follow : 

NO. 1. 

Extract of Vanilla. 

Vanilla Beans (fine quality), 4 ounces. 
White Sugar, 4 " 

Proof Spirit, 1 gallon. 

Powder the beans and sugar very fine ; pack in a per- 
colator, and percolate with the Proof Spirit. 



NO. 2. 
Extract of Orris. 

Orris Root (finely ground), 7 pounds. 
Percolate with pure Alcohol until one gallon of extract 
is obtained. 



NO. 3. 

Extract of Tonka. 

Tonka Beans (in coarse powder), 1 pound. 
Percolate with Alcohol until one gallon of extract is 
obtained. 



PERFUMERY. 273 



NO. 4. 

Extract of Musk. 

Pure Grain Musk, 2 drachms. 
Mix half an ounce of Liquor Potassaa with four ounces 
of Proof Spirit, and triturate the Musk with this mix- 
ture until it is thoroughly softened and reduced to a 
creamy state ; add enough Proof Spirit to make one pint ; 
stir well; then allow the coarser particles to subside, and 
pour off the supernatant fluid ; rub the coarser portions, 
and proceed as before. Make three pints.

The receipts of these perfumes are the most noted that 
at present are being manufactured. The directions for 
making these colognes are, to cut the oils in about nine- 
tenths of Spirits, and after standing twenty-four hours 
add the water, and immediately add the remainder of 
the Spirits. The water should always be lukewarm 
when put in. Always filter through filter-paper.

CHAPTER XXII. 



HAIE DYES AND TONICS. 



It could be easily shown that the practice of dyeing 
the hair, by way of personal adornment, is very ancient. 
It is universally followed among the upper, as well as 
the lower, classes in every country in Asia, and the prac- 
tice is equally prevalent among the barbarous and civil- 
ized communities. In Egypt the practice is to blacken 
the edge of the eye-lids, both above and below, and for 
this purpose they use a powder called Kohol. 

The practice of dyeing the hair, painting the face, 
etc., by way of personal adornment, is often alluded to 
in the Bible, and materials for that purpose constitute, 
at the present time, the leading source of profit among 
the Armenians. 

It becomes our duty, while writing a book of this 
kind, to devote a chapter to Hair Dyes and Tonics ; still, 
at the same time, it is our duty to say that, as a rule, all 
hair dyes ought to be avoided, as personal beauty is often 
spoiled by the inharmonious application of colors.

must be taken that the Sulphuret is fresh-made, or at 
least well preserved in closed bottles; otherwise, instead 
of the Mordant making the hair black, it will impart a 
yellow hue. When the Mordant is good, it has a very

then add Liquid Ammonia by degrees until the mixture

ide of Silver being re-dissolved. 

Pour half a pint of boiling Rose Water upon three

CHAPTER XXIII. 



POMADES, 



The use of Ointments as helps to the adornment of 
the person is often alluded to in the sacred Scriptures. 
Thus we have mention made of them in Proverbs 27: 9, 
and again, in Ecclesiastes 9 : 8, and I. Chronicles 9 : 30. 

A casual observer would say that it is a barbarous cus- 
tom to oil the hair; but if he will only reflect a moment, 
he will find that the oil glands on the scalps of many 
persons possess the power of secretion in so slight a 
degree that it becomes necessary to aid Nature in her 
work by means of Art — by means of Ointments and Oils. 

You may see many persons whose hair has a peculiar 
dryness, actually demanding an application of artificial 
oil; and to neglect this would entail annoyance and 
an unsightly appearance. When the oil glands supply 
a sufficiency of fluid, the hair is said to be moist and 
soft — a consummation devoutly to be wished by men of 
every rank and condition in life who make any show 
towards personal adornment. 

The name of "Pomade" and "Pomatum" is derived 
from " Pomum " — an apple — because it was formerly 
made by immersing over-ripe apples in grease. If an 
apple be stuck all over with spice, such as cloves, then 



POMADES. 315 

exposed to the air tor a few days, and afterwards mace- 
rated in purified melted lard, or any other fatty matter, 
the grease will become perfumed. Repeating the opera- 
tion with the same grease several times produces real 
Pomatum. 

In making Pomades, the following directions ought to 
be strictly followed if you wish to make a really nice 
article. You need not follow the following remarks if 
you simply want a common article of Pomatum. 

Pomades ought to be made from inodorous lard. 

Melt your lard in a hot water bath (boiling) ; take off 
the scum, after previously adding two ounces of pow- 
dered alum and two ounces of table salt. When the 
grease appears clear, let it grow cool. 

The lard is now to be washed. This is done a small 
quantity at a time. Take about a pound on a slate slab, 
and let the slab slope sufficiently so that a good 
supply of water may trickle over it and run off at the 
same time. Keep the grease well stirred. In this way 
the water will remove any trace of the alum and salt. 

Finally, the grease, when the whole is washed, is re- 
melted, the heat being maintained enough to drive off 
any adhering water. When cold, it is finished. 

This may seem troublesome, but you will find it pays, 
as the lard, when perfectly inodorous, will keep better 
and take less perfume of flowers.

BODIES FOR POMADES. 
NO. 1. 

Benzoin Body. 

Leaf Lard, 5 pounds. 

Gum Benzoin, 2 " 

Explanation. — By Leaf Lard is meant rendered Lard, 
made from the leaf alone, with no other fat with it. If 
the Lard is nicely rendered — that is, if there is no grain 
left and does not appear to be sandy, it is ready for 
use; if sandy, it must be melted to the consistency of 
oil, and stirred constantly until cold. When the Lard is 
ready, it must be warmed over the water bath until it 
can be stirred. While warming the Lard, put the Ben- 
zoin in eight ounces of Alcohol, and warm in a water 
bath until the Gum is dissolved; then remove the Lard 
from the water bath, and add the Benzoin slowly. This 
mixture must stand for two weeks; then melt to the 
consistency of oil ; then allow it to cool, and the Benzoin 
will settle to the bottom, and the Lard will retain all the 
flavor of the Benzoin. Always melt over the water 
bath.

CHAPTER XXV. 



TOOTH POWDERS AND MOUTH WASHES. 



There is scarcely a subject of a personal character so 
sadly neglected and so little understood by the people 
in general as the care of the teeth. 

In view of this fact, in 1868 the Dental Society of 
Philadelphia offered a prize for the best essay on the 
Hubject, the same to be published for the benefit of the 
public. The prize was awarded for the following rules : 

First. Cleanse your teeth once, or oftener, every day. 
Rinse the mouth after eating. Cleansing the teeth con- 
sists in removing every particle of foreign matter from 
around the teeth and gums. 

Second. To cleanse, use well-made brushes, soft quill 
or wood toothpicks, an antacid styptic tooth wash, and 
precipitated chalk. If these means fail, apply to a reg- 
ular dentist. 

Third. Avoid eating hot food. Thoroughly masti- 
cate the food, and well salivate it before swallowing. 

Fourth. Parents ought carefully attend to the child's 
second dentition. Prevail upon your children to visit, 
at frequent intervals, a careful and skillful operator. 



TOOTH POWDERS AND MOUTH WASHES. 333 

Fifth. Remember that four of the permanent double 
teeth come in at the age of six years. They are very 
liable to decay early, are very large, and should never be 
allowed to require extracting. 

Sixth. Never allow any one to extract a tooth or dis- 
suade you from having them filled unless absotutely nec- 
essary. 

Seventh. Carelessness and procrastination are respon- 
sible for a large proportion of teeth that are lost. 

The teeth were never intended to take the place of 
nut-crackers, nor to rival scissors in cutting thread. The 
teeth must be taken care of, or your health will suffer. 

Remember, a clean tooth would not decay in a hundred 
years.

CHAPTER XXVI. 



COLD OEEAM, 

(From Piesse.) 



Galen was the celebrated physician of Pergamus, in 
Asia, and distinguished himself at Athens, Alexandria 
and Rome, about 1700 years ago. He was the inventer 
of that peculiar unguent, a mixture of grease and water, 
which is now distinguished as Cold Cream in perfumery, 
and as Ceratum Galeni in pharmacy. The reader, how- 
ever, will surely know that the Cold Cream is not the 
same article invented bj^ the philosopher. 

In perfumery there are several kinds of Cold Cream, 
distinguished by their odor — such as that of Camphor, 
Almond, Violet, Roses, etc. 

Cold Cream, as made by Englisn perfumers, is consid- 
ered the best. It is difficult to get a supply of the genu- 
ine article, as the demand is far greater than can be 
supplied. The quantity of English Cold Cream exported 
may be reckoned by jars in hundreds of dozens, and the 
repeated announcements that may be seen in the shops 
of "English Cold Cream," is good proof of the estima- 
mation in which it is held. 



342 COLD CREAM. 



Method of Preparing Cold Cream, 

As given by Piesse in his "Art of Perfumery." 

Into a well-glazed, thick porcelain vessel, which should 
be deep in preference to shallow, and capable of holding 
twice the quantity of cream that is to be made, place 
the wax and sperm; now put the jar into a boiling bath 
of water. When these materials are melted, add the oil, 
and again subject the whole to heat until the flocks of 
wax and sperm are liquified ; now remove the jar and 
contents, and set it under a runner containing the rose 
water (if you are making Rose Cream) ; the runner may 
be a tin can, with a small tap at the bottom. A stirrer 
must be provided, made of Lance Wood, flat and perfo- 
rated with holes about the size of a ten cent piece, 
resembling in form a large pallette knife. As soon as 
the rose water is set running, the cream must be kept 
agitated until the whole of the water has passed into it ; 
now and then the flow of water must be stopped, and 
the cream which sets at the sides of the jar scraped down 
and incorporated with that which remains fluid. 

In winter time it is necessary to slightly warm the 
rose water; otherwise the cream sets before it is beaten 
enough. 

When the whole of the water has been incorporated, 
the cream will be cool enough to pour into jars for sale ; 
at that time the Otto of Rose is to be added. 

The reason for the perfume being put in at the last 
moment is obvious — the heat and subsequent agit&tion 
would cause unnecessary loss by evaporation. 

Cold Cream made in this way sets quite firmly in the 
jars into which it is poured, and retains a "face" 



COLD CREAM. 343 



resembling pure wax, although one-half is water, re- 
tained in the interstices of the cream. 

When the pots are well glazed, the Cream will keep 
good one or two years. A good plan is to use stoppered 
bottles.

Peau D'Espagne. 

This is a highly perfumed Leather, prepared thus : 

Good, sound pieces of Wash Leather are to be steeped 
in a mixture of Ottos, in which are dissolved some odor- 
iferous gum-resins, Otto of Neroli, Otto of Lavender, 
Otto of Rose, Santal — of each, half an ounce; Verbena 
and Bergamot, quarter of an ounce ; Otto of Cloves and 
Cinnamon, cf each two drachms ; all these in half a pint

of Spirit, in which was dissolved about four ounces of 
Gum Benzoin. Leave the skin in this for a day or two, 
then remove it and squeeze well. Let the skin dry by 
exposure to the air. A paste must be made of one 
drachm of Civet with one drachm of Grain Musk, and 
enough Gum Acacia to make it spread well. The skin 
must then be cut into pieces four inches square, and the 
paste spread over them. Two pieces must be placed 
together, having the Civet Plaster between them. They 
must then be placed between sheets of paper, and 
pressed. When dry, place in rolls of silk or satin, and 
finished to the taste. 



CHAPTER XXTX. 



TOILET SOAPS. 



If one were to undertake to write an essay on this 
subject, it could not fail to be interesting. 

History informs us that the Gauls were the inventors 
of Soap. The French king's retinue, in former days, 
was incomplete without his royal soap-maker. 

A Mr. Starke, writing on certain discoveries made at 
Pompeii, says that a soap-maker's shop was discovered 
while excavating, containing Soap, and this after a per- 
iod of eighteen hundred years, for Pompeii was destroyed 
by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius, A. D. 79. 

Soap is mentioned in the Bible (see Jer. 2 : 22, and 
Malachi 3: 2) proving, beyond doubt, its antiquity. 

It is a common error to suppose that the perfumer is a 
soap-maker. He is a melter, not a maker, and for his 
use recognizes the following : Curd Soap, Oil Soap, 
Castile Soap, Marine Soap, Yellow, Palm, and several 
other kinds ; but we have named the principal. Curd 
Soap is the base for highly-scented Soap. 

In this connection, as a strange item, we wish to men- 
tion the fact that in the reign of King Charles the First 



TOILET SOAPS. 365 



a law was passed forbidding any one to manufacture 
Soap in less quantities than one hundred pounds, thus 
placing its manufacture in the hands of a few. This 
law continued on the Statute till 1853, when duty was 
taken off Soap. 

It would be useless to enter here into the methods of 
manufacturing Soap, for the reason already given, that 
the perfumer is not a soap-maker. 



Re-Melting Soap. 

Before submitting for your guidance our several for- 
mulas, it will be as well to commence by showing our 
process of remelting. 

The process is exceedingly simple. The bar Soap is 
first cut up into thin slabs, because it melts more easily. 
The melting-pan is an iron vessel heated by steam or by 
a water bath. Put your Soap into your pan by degrees ; 
that is, the thin slabs of Soap are to be placed perpen- 
dicularly all 'round the inside of the pan, introducing 
at the same time a few ounces of water. The steam will 
assist the melting. In a short time the Soap will run 
down, when more slabs, in a similar manner, must be 
introduced, and so continued, every half hour, until the 
whole melting is finished. 

As the Soap melts, in order to mix it and break up 
lumps, it is, from time to time, crutched, that is, stirred 
with an instrument in the form of a crutch or inverted 
(X), curved to fit the curve of the pan. When the 
Soap is all melted, it is then colored, if so required, and 
then the perfume is added, the whole being thoroughly 



366 TOILET SOAPS. 



incorporated with the crutch. The Soap is then turned 
into a frame. The frame is a box made in sections, in 
order that it can be taken to pieces, so that the Soap can 
be cut up when cold. The sections or lifts are frequently 
made of the width of the intended bar of Soap. Two or 
three days after the Soap has been in the frame, it is 
cool enough to cut into slabs of the required size. 

"With these requisite j:>reliminaries, we will now intro- 
duce a number of excellent formulas, which can be re- 
lied on.

another kettle over the water bath ; let them heat for 
about five minutes, but take care they do not boil ; then 
pour the Acohol and Lye into the Oils, and stir until 
they are well mixed. The Soap will be done when there 
is a scum over the top, or try if it will string down and 
harden if a small portion is tried in a saucer. If it will 
not harden, it is not done. Do not let it boil, or it will 
spoil. When done, pour into a tin can and cool as rap- 
idly as possibly. Mix Perfume in half a pint of Alcohol. 
After the Soap has been put in the can to cool, add one

Evaporate to a proper consistence. The product is trans-

Scenting Soaps Cold. 

When Soaps are scented hot they are apt to lose a 
great deal of the perfume by evaporation. Hence the 
adoption of tne following : 

After your Soap is cold and as yet unscented, take an 
ordinary carpenter's plane and a good marble mortar, 



TOILET SOAPS. 375 



with pestal. Place the carpenter's plane over the mor- 
tar, but turn the plane upside down. Take now a piece 
of Soap, and push it across the plane until it is all re- 
duced into fine shavings. These, of course, fall into the 
mortar. When you have cut a sufficiency and slightly 
pounded the Soap into a mass and in a proper condition, 
measure out your oils and add them to the mass, thor- 
oughly incorporating by again pounding until the Soap 
is perfectly free from streaks and of one uniform consist- 
ency. 

For perfuming soap in large quantities by the cold 
process, it is more convenient to employ a mill of some 
kind similar in construction to a chocolate mill, but any 
kind will do that answers for making paste and crushing 
lumps.
